Every Step with Jesus: Following the Saints in the Way of the Cross

As followers of Christ, we are among those souls walking the steep slope to Calvary with Jesus — to his death, but to our life.

At each of the 15 stations we are accompanied by a saint whose thoughts illuminate the way, revealing the light-filled moment behind the darkness of each moment. Some of the saints include:

• St. John Paul II
• St. Pio of Pietrelcina
• St. Thomas More
• St. Thérèse of Lisieux
• St. Faustina
• St. Teresa of Calcutta

Every Step with Jesus is a new and fruitful way to consider the Way of the Cross, not just in public display, but in our private meditation and reflection. Pray through one station per day or week. Choose a station to help you focus on a particular need or intention. Taking every step of every day with Jesus we become more like him, and become more able to take his light out into a darkened world.
